MPE2013 planted the seed but the binary trees are still growing and mutating. It’s still an interesting project even without an International Year to attach to. So yes, we are still collecting specimens, particularly L-system flowers as we haven’t had so many of those.

Botanica Mathematica will probably be dormant for the winter though. Early next year I hope to get some taxonomy done on the trees and then we’ll figure out what to do next.

The Maths of Planet Earth year has come and gone, but you still seem to be exhibiting and holding workshops? I have just made my first flower from your L-system pattern. It’s not very big – the tension was getting pretty tight, with the increases and the carried thread.

Thank you!

Wed, 02 Apr 2014 10:22:08 +0000http://botanicamathematica.wordpress.com/?p=187#comment-129Hello Jane, I’m so pleased you like Julia’s latest creation – I think she will be too!

I can see why you’d want to have the trunk twice as tall so you have a proper representation of 1,1,2,3,5,8,13… but I’m afraid 8+13=21 so the rest of Julia’s tree works out just fine. I was going to start making one of these today so I’ll knit my trunk that way and see how it turns out.

I do like your scarf too. I’ve bought myself an Ashford Knitters’ rigid heddle loom and am slowly learning how to use it. Thank you for the inspiration to get back to it. 🙂
